Rapper caught with knife after tussling with cops called to a fatal crash is jailed
A RAPPER caught with a knife after tussling with cops called to a fatal crash has been locked up. Mobo Award-nominated Jyrelle O'Connor, 26, was nicked by traffic officers trying to find the driver who caused a killer smash on the M40 near Beaconsfield, Bucks. He was caught after a struggle and found to have a folding pocket knife, Thames Valley Police said. The drill rapper - who performs under the stage name Loski - was out of jail on licence. He was given seven years in 2023 for having a loaded revolver. On Monday, High Wycombe JPs jailed O'Connor, of Farnham Royal, Bucks, for eight months after he pleaded guilty to possession of a knife and obstructing a police officer. Det Sgt Ed Crofts of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: 'I am pleased he is back behind bars where he belongs. 'We will never tolerate anybody carrying dangerous weapons in our community and will seek to bring to justice those that do so.' The Sun has also reported that O'Connor had his track Ashes played by the BBC on 1Xtra days after his release from jail for carrying a loaded gun. O'Conner denied the charges and claimed that he had been forced to hold the gun after a drug dealer had made threats against his and his mother's lives.
